Where can I find an Oakland car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the holiday home car companies that operate in Oakland. They often have different age policies. If you’ve found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, take note that extra fees may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before booking your holiday home car.
Can I drive in Oakland with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the U.S, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you’ll also need to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your home vehicle. Please read the details before booking!
